The C++ Standards Committee is aiming to standardize a 2D drawing API in the post-C++14 timeframe. A study group (SG 13 - Graphics [1]) has been created to investigate possible approaches.
SG 13 is considering using Cairo as the basis for a lightweight C++ drawing API [2] [3]. The idea would be to automatically wrap Cairo's C API into a C++ API without changing the semantics of the operations (see the last two pages of [2] for details). This sounds like the sort of thing we might be interested in / have an opinion on. Any thoughts? SG 13 will be meeting in Issaquah next week as part of the larger C++ Standards Committee meeting, which I will be attending. If anyone has thoughts on this proposal, I am happy to convey them at the study group's meeting.
